But it becomes less accurate for estimating peak BAC in someone who just ate a substantial meal, because peak absorption is delayed and the curve is flatter
Cagrilintide vs AOD 9604 Mechanism: Cagrilintide: Amylin receptor agonist (appetite/satiety) AOD 9604: HGH fragment (fat metabolism) Completely different Weight loss: Cagrilintide: 10-12% body weight AOD 9604: 5-8% body weight (less robust data) Cagrilintide superior Clinical evidence: Cagrilintide: Extensive Phase 2/3 trials AOD 9604: Limited clinical data Cagrilintide better studied Side effects: Cagrilintide: GI effects common AOD 9604: Minimal side effects AOD 9604 better tolerated Combination potential: Could theoretically combine (different mechanisms) No clinical data on combination Cagrilintide + semaglutide better established Verdict: Cagrilintide more powerful, better evidence
In a phase 2 trial, once-weekly cagrilintide produced dose-dependent weight reductions in people with overweight or obesity, which is what moved the amylin pathway into serious combination development ( Lau et al., Lancet 2021 )
